I LOVE my black hair! Because I have such a light complexion otherwise (the skin on my legs could blind a person in the right lighting), I stand out in a crowd. I got called a goth in middle school (despite my desperate efforts to be “trendy”), but then I got over it and found the “goth” look very convenient in high school, and then in college created my own style which is rather eclectic but a lot lighter on the shades of black. When I first got hair, it was a dark shade of auburn. By about age 3, it had turned completely black. I’ve had it highlighted red before, and from time to time I think about dyeing it another color just for fun (usually blonde, just to shock people who know me as having black hair), but in the end I just love it too much.
